    Has anyone used a rifle sling stud Picatinny adapter like this one from Accu-tac: Picatinny bipod adapter

    I have a few rifles with sling studs that I would like to use my Atlas bipods on. My main concern with an adapter like this is the leverage it places on the sling stud being that it isn't centered over the stud. Also, do they stay tight?
     
    Apparently, there's a couple of different standards for sling stud diameter. Check that your adapter fits on your stud.

    I recently put a sling stud on a rifle with a UIT rail, and it said it will work with Grovtec swivels. It does. But the adapter that came with my bipod didn't fit that stud.

    Replace a screw with a 10-32 sling stud and you'd be all set. Just a thought.

    I have that on one rifle.....and then put the stud clamped on to the rail. to be consitent amongs my rifles vs having to add that to all of my rifles, if that makes sense.

    Have you found some thing like this, the one in your link is on the expensive side? Thanks.

    I have and it’s rock solid. Highly recommend. Tried other cheaper Chinesium and they suck as expected.
